Haroon thinks Zana and the girl with orange hair should get together because they are both independent and not afraid to wear what they want. Haroon acknowledges his friend Azeem on TV, which takes courage because some people may think Haroon is a terrorist too for supporting Azeem, who is accused of being a terrorist. Haroon thinks Hadi called in the bomb threat to the school because Hadi was angry at their teacher Ms. Singh and at Haroon for intervening in an earlier argument. Haroon is angry at racist people, including those who harass his sister for her clothing, those who think he is an informer, those who vandalized Brown Town, and anyone who chooses to remain ignorant
